Not to get on women much but they are never held accountable. Especially in govt. meaning if they don't want to do it it doesn't get done. If you wonder why things dont seem , to work any more this is part of the answer not women in general. but just basic accountability.
They absolutely do. I feel more sorry for the carriers than anything. In the end it's really not their fault. They have ridiculous quotas and lots of pressure.
From my experience with the post office, it's a job that doesn't require the ability to read or do math
I was waiting on a part and talked to my local Postmaster whom said the conveyors can be very long and sometimes items get caught in a vicious circle. He emailed Facility back east and I received a couple of days later.
We have 2 of the best usps delivery people at our house they are a married couple if it’s raining or too big for the letter box they put it up on our porch every time and we always tip them around Xmas with gift certificates every year
Just got my Xmas cookies from my buddy in Honolulu 2 day service those cookie are alsome
Also, money orders are the same as cash. You don't just decide not to sell them because it's a PIA. They're accountable. Honestly, they're not that tough to deal with. Easier than processing a certified letter. A clerk in a post office didn't delay them. That came from a lot higher above them. Of course, you only see the clerk, so it must their fault.
I would do that, but the problem here is, we don't have a regular carrier now. I'm not tipping for piss poor service from someone who doesn't even know the route.
I agree RRR, once you know the folks service is much better.
In '77 we had about 10 locals in the neighborhood of a Subdivision with a common but keyed box and delivery was never an issue.
If you knew this branch you would know for sure she just didn't reorder them when she ran out. She is the only one in the branch. And it's her responsibility as the postmaster of the branch to reorder them. In rural branches of this size there are no "clerks" just the postmaster. This happened prior to "peak" season. With all the people that work from home or have ebay stores postal money orders are essential to their business. Money orders are not the same as cash. You can't take one addressed to gunbunny to walmart and buy a case of beer. You can take any 50 dollar bill and buy one. She only became "accountable" when complaints were filed above her head. It may be different where you live.
What do I know, I just worked for and retired from the USPS.
How much do you think mail carriers start out in pay now? $19 hr. It's a lot harder job than you think it is, and when you factor toxic management, and entitled assholes into the mix, it's not worth it.
But . . . it could be for some people. To me it takes a certain mindset and forward thinking towards life's goals.
NO offense please but obviously it wasn't the same branch in our small village.
